@iGarikoitz - In the latest theme download. You named the conf files in the info folders using the game names which causes the game info not to appear. These need renaming to game.conf for the info to start displaying again.

Not sure if this is an oversight or not.

Use the latest beta: Aura 1.0 beta v2

If you put for example garou.zip inside the garou mark of the wolves folder, you will see that the conf file inside the info folder has the same name as garou.zip that is: garou.conf The file of the game and the file conf that is inside the folder info, they must have the same name so that the information of the game is shown in the frontend.

You are 100% correct Thanks for clarifying.

On a side note, I know you use an xbox controller in the layout. Is there any scope to include a playstation 2 controller? Perhaps you have the clip art files that you can send me so I can replace the files?

Seeing the following error in the logs. What does it mean? When you select a game, the info for the game is not shown.

[2018-12-12 18:56:07] [INFO] [Menu] File does not exist: "C:\Users\Imran\Aura1b2Test\collections\garou mark of the wolves\menu.txt"

config tool from within the frontend sounds good.

You're using RetroFE 0.8.13 at the moment?

Sorry dude. I was using version 0.8.0. I've checked the controls.conf file for version 0.8.13. What should I put down for 'up' i.e. what button press from the gamepad?

There's no guidance in the file. I don't know what keyword to use.. i.e. joy1up joy1axis+ etc

I'm using 0.80 I think.

I'll try the setup with other versions and feedback.

This is the machine I am interested in:

ZOTAC CI547 - https://www.zotac.com/us/product/mini_pcs/ci547-nano

- Intel Core i5-7200U, dual core 2.5 GHz, max 3.1 GHz
- 2 x DDR4-1866/2133 SODIMM Slot (up to 32GB)
- Intel SoC Chipset
- Intel HD Graphics 620

I'll buy an SSD and 8GB RAM to use with it. What do you think guys?

Hi guys,

I'm looking for some advice and recommendations please on a machine. Now that my RetroFE setup is nearing it's completion I'm excited to host it on a suitable machine. I'm looking for advice on the hardware to run my setup on. My requirements are listed below:

- Windows Based
- Small as possible (Will sit in my living room underneath TV)
- Bluetooth desirable
- Nothing too overkill

Running following games:

- Snes games
- Genesis games
- Early 90's dosbox games
- mid 90's windows games i.e GTA 1 (none of which are 3D)
- Around 10 psx1 games (Crash bandicoot, Porsche Challenge, Tekken 3)
- Arcade (mame) - mainly 2d classics like street fighter alpha etc

As you can see my games don't require very demanding hardware. I have looked at a few ideas so far:

1. Intel Compute Stick
2. Intel NUC
3. Zotac i68 (mini pc of 10x10x4 cm with core i5 and integrated graphics)
4. Kangaroo Plus Mobile Mini PC, Intel Atom x5 Z8500, 4GB LPDDR3, 64GB eMMC, Finger Print Reader, Non OS, Windows 10 compatible)
5. Sumvision Cyclone Quad Core Windows 8.1 Mini PC/Computer

What do you think of any of the above?

Can you recommend any nice micro PC's? Which CPU's should I avoid?

My first preference is the Intel Compute Stick however I'm not sure if it is powerful enough.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
